Leizhou Ancient City, located in the former site of the ancient Lei Prefecture, has long been known as ‘Ancient Prefecture of Lingnan, Wonder of the Northern Sea’. The unique Leizhou culture and enchanting peninsular scenery form a unique and blessed tourism landscape in Leizhou Ancient City.
Famous sites within the ancient city include the Lingnan famous temple Lei Zu Temple, the ‘Pillar of the South Sky’ Sanyuan Tower, Shi Xian Temple, the Tang Dynasty-built Tianning Temple, and Qi Hu Park, which combines ancient architecture with gardens, all of which have long been renowned.
Local specialties such as pickled vegetables, pork and beef offal are very popular among tourists, and the white-cut dog is particularly famous for its unique taste.
